Weirdest German TV Moment

 Around 2000...one of the commercial German networks ran a 'wife-swap' show.  Basically, they recruited one crazy-or-unique gal and one normal gal.  For 7 days....they swapped houses.  The husband or boyfriend....didn't get sexual or such.....they just had to observe and half of the show was mostly the husband's reaction.

The wife and I had watched season one.  On entertainment value (1-10)....I personally gave it a '3'....but there wasn't much alternative crap to watch.

So one night....here is a US Army intelligence guy (Stuttgart area) who has a German wife, and she's hyped up to participate in the show.  I suspect there's a paycheck in the mix as the benefit.

What the Army guy gets?  Some German gal with serious stability problems....who smokes cannabis a good bit (to take the edge off).  Around day two or three of this....the Army guy has given the production team 'notice'....the nutcase-gal needs to leave.  The production team is acting 'funny'....asking why.  This part of the show ends early.

I felt sorry for the Army guy....he should have seen this as a likely scenario....that the more 'nutty' that you appeared....the more likely you got a invite to participate in the show.  I always wondered after the show aired....did he guy lose his security clearance?  If he did lose it....how did the security guys write the report?
